Treygreen13:oh_please: Now, magically, according to MyFace, all of a sudden they're diehard Bronco fans,and talk shiat all the time.

Oh man, I hate that.

We had a nice little fake-fan outing yesterday when a "Manziel signs with the Cowboys" rumor swept through DFW. All the "hardcore football fans" reacted to the obviously false (if you have any idea how the draft works) news with the usual insightful analysis that we get after every Cowboys win or loss.

You never know, the Vikings could have traded the leagues' entire draft to Dallas.

A Cave Geek:Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that they're from...ya know...TEXAS would it?

The_Sponge:I don't think there is too much hate for the Texans despite being from the same state.

No, just ridicule. "Texans" is hilarious. It'd be like a team from L.A. changing their mascot to "Californians". It's hubris that shatters every common-sense limit on hyperbole and into great unknown territories of misuse of language.

As for Dallas, there's something to be said about "America's Team" being from a state where I got to constantly hear people (erroneously) brag about how Texas can leave the Union whenever they want.

UNC_Samurai:You never know, the Vikings could have traded the leagues' entire draft to Dallas.

Oh man, that story is a classic.

The real fleecing wasn't even on the surface. Jimmy and Jerry screwed them badly enough without the conditional picks - two first rounders and two second rounders in ADDITION to the absurd stakes when they cut Solomon, Stewart, Howard, and Nelson.

Ah right, how dare a team name themselves after their area of residence. They should all call themselves airplanes, or birds. Those make more sense. Or maybe name your entire team after one guy who has been dead for 20 years, that's the American way!

That was the biggest fleecing in the history of the NFL.

My roommate in college would wear his Cowboy gear with pride, even the season they won only 1 game...when the trade happened, he was actually worried that the Cowboys had traded away their best player.

AND he ended up playing for the Cowboys later anyway. No coincidence Lynn was essentially removed from the team after they realized just how much he hosed the team.

You did.

You just happened to replace with him 2 or more Hall of Famers and a shiat ton of awesome role play guys.

Treygreen13:The_Sponge: How the hell can 9% of the respondents have an unfavorable opinion of Russell Wilson? (Were they all Niners fans?) You can hate the Hawks, you can hate Pete Carroll, you can hate Richard Sherman.....but hating Russell Wilson?

C'MON MAN!

Well, note that Tim Tebow is twice as favorable as Eli Manning and Cam Newton in the poll.

Sounds like bronys were the only ones they could get to answer their poll

This Looks Fun:Ok, then why not Terry Bradshaw? Or Steve Young? Or Troy Aikman? Or any other "not currently in the NFL" former QB to have thrown a TD in the playoffs? Why Tebow? Why can't the country just move on?

the reason the Cowboys are the least favorite team is because all the teams who have all the real bandwagon fans (Steelers, Patriots, Packers, Saints etc.) rationale themselves that they aren't really bandwagon fans because the Dallas Cowboys have all the bandwagon fans, even though they have absolutely no reason to have any bandwagon fans.so basically it's bandwagonners projecting their own bandwagoning onto the Cowboys.

I actually don't really hate any of them - the players are all professionals, and it seems ridiculous to hate a team, when the majority of its players could be somewhere else next week.

Fanbases? That's a different story. Pittsburgh, and no one else comes close. I have dreams that feature all those entitled bastards hanging themselves with their yellow snot-rags. On cold nights like these, it keeps me warm.

The Cowboys and the Redskins both have the same problem. Intensely hateable owners whose treatment of the team as their personal playthings has lowered the overall level of competition and fun in the NFL
